Actually I joined the project about a week after the gunmetal-to-rainbows switch. I tried to convince them to either go back, or include more colors, but no dice. We did get better colors in the next couple years of sets though.

You want to see a Power Rangers ripoff, have you checked out the secret Green Ranger storyline in this year's Ninjago?

True, thought they did return to the more traditional "Good Tints" verse "Evil Shades" the following theme, with the pretense that the previous team's rookie went on to become the King and was now fighting the remnant of the evil Scorpion guy's faction.In other words, exactly like every other Castle theme where there were "bad guys".

Yeah, but at least Ninjago has a Gender-flipped CHAR and new awesome custom ninja uniforms.

And it's not like Lego cribbing Tokusatsu tropes is a bad thing!After all, this is the same genre that gave us Godzilla.

...Speaking of Sentai, I whipped these guys up after seeing that awesome Power Ax that skeleton had in that 4chan battle report:The Butching Badass Bley Ranger!
